Bonding (Viper x Killjoy)

Bonding (Killjoy x Viper)

The audible sounds of bones clicking reached the German's ears as she stretched her arms up in the air, while her companion walking alongside her gave an amused look at the noise.

"That sounded like a cry for help." Raze commented with a snicker, earning a small scoff from the techie.

"Just working out the kinks, that's all."

For a moment, Raze merely hummed and nodded, but when a particular idea came into mind, a teasing grin was quick to occupy her face. "The anaconda is pretty rough in the bed, ain't she?"

"Anaconda?" Killjoy asked in confusion, not realizing immediately who the duelist was describing. "What anaconda?"

"Oh, you know who." Raze poked at Killjoy's side, wiggling her eyebrows.

Killjoy was about to further question who she was referring to when she was finally struck with realization. Her eyes widened, while her cheeks colored visibly. She gave Raze a swat on the arm, while the latter merely started guffawing at her expression.

"Shut up, Izzy!" Killjoy demanded, looking around just in case someone else heard their conversation. "You know how Sabine is when it comes to discussing our private life. When she discovered I spoke with Sage about it, she was so vexed with me."

"Okay, first of all, why did you even talk to Sage about it? I mean, seriously, of all people? Sage?"

"What, you didn't know?"

"Didn't know what?"

Killjoy's gaze trailed away from Raze and wandered ahead, where she caught a glimpse of Reyna and Phoenix passing by as they conversed with one another about the topic of blinding their enemies in the battlefield. Unfortunately, Raze seemed to have caught her lingering stare towards the duo, specifically on Reyna.

"Nevermind what I said." Killjoy tried dismissing the topic, casually waving it off with a hand.

Raze's suspicion was already on the rise, but she chose not to prod, thinking it'd be better and much more fun for her to conduct a little recon mission concerning the matter. "Alright, fine. But you have to tell me why you asked Sage."

"Oh, you know, she's one of the most mature and responsible agents in the Protocol, so I figured she had some advice for me with my relationship with Sabine. It's pretty much just that."

"Well, I guess you do have a point."

"Ahem." Came the sound of Brimstone clearing his throat behind them, which prompted the pair to turn around and face the older agent.

"Ah, Brimstone! Just the man I wanted to see!" Raze stood on her tippy-toes just to barely sling an arm around the man's neck, flashing a little grin as she continued with, "Say, about the whole 'testing my Showstopper' at the open field..."

"The board hasn't decided yet, Raze," Brimstone said, looking more like an exasperated father rather than a frustrated commander. "so you'll just have to wait until they do."

"Aww, come on!"

"Now, if you don't mind, Killjoy here has a briefing to attend."

The techie, who seemed to have been momentarily forgotten, pointed at herself. "What? A briefing? Oh come on, Brimstone. I just got back from a mission yesterday!"

Brimstone sighed but lightly pushed her to the direction where the briefing room could be found. "I know that, but time is of the essence here. I don't have all day and you're the first of many others that I have to give a briefing to."
